NHL makes decision on Michael McCarron's hit on Casey DeSmith

After Michael McCarron delivered a pretty crazy hit on Vancouver Goaltender Casey Desmith, the NHL has come down with a ruling on the matter.

It definitely doesn't happen often, and usually ends up in more fireworks than what happened the other night, but it is always a sight when a player lays a hit on the opposing team's goaltender. That is what Michael McCarron did last night in the Nashville Predators versus Vancouver Canucks series.





Now, the NHL has come down with a ruling on the hit, fining McCarron $2000 for the hit.



This, though better than nothing, is surprising, as it could have easily been a suspendable hit considering how the League likely wants to protect its goaltenders. Now, it will be up to the players to do so themselves.
